1 John 3:18 in Context — 1 John 3
16 En esto hemos conocido el amor, porque él puso su vida por nosotros: también nosotros debemos poner nuestras vidas por los hermanos.
17 Mas el que tuviere bienes de este mundo, y viere á su hermano tener necesidad, y le cerrare sus entrañas, ¿cómo está el amor de Dios en él?
18 Hijitos míos, no amemos de palabra ni de lengua, sino de obra y en verdad.
19 Y en esto conocemos que somos de la verdad, y tenemos nuestros corazones certificados delante de él.
20 Porque si nuestro corazón nos reprendiere, mayor es Dios que nuestro corazón, y conoce todas las cosas.
